Forgot he was even on the pitch, tbh.

It's so obvious we need fresh blood it's unreal. What have our scouts been doing for the last 12months for crying out loud?
It's only a friendly but I still can't get my head around it. It's so obvious that we need a few more to beef up the options

I can't wait for Rose to be back
Says the biggest melt of any match thread last season
ochlol::vert:You're so fucking thick.
I think it was the water breaks that did us in, ruined our momentum. 
I wonder if there will be any 'positives' taken from this game ?
It's not melting, nothing to do with pre season results. It wouldn't upset me either. I am a bit more realistic about the last 2 seasons to this one.
If we get top 4 this season I will be very, very, satisfied.
if we challenge for the title then we are the real deal.
I am one of those who think we will finish outside the top 3. I wouldn't be surprised if we finished 5th either.

It may have 'only' been a friendly but the players are obligated to perform EVERY time they pull on the famous white shirt and also they have a duty to the fans that pay to turn up and support them, so the result and performance does matter.
Haven't seen it myself but by the sound of it it was a horror show. Let's just hope they all learn from that and get it right before Newcastle.

Sober reflection on last night ... god we were shite. We genuinely looked so far off the pace. I know it's pre season etc but Citeh looked miles ahead of us. The thing I've noticed is that when teams press us, we don't cope well (lolerpool x2 last season springs to mind, Spam at their place, plus Monaco & Leverkusen in the CL)
Also, we were pulled apart defensively- mainly due to surrendering the midfield with sloppy passing, being second to the ball every time & leaving acres of space behind the full backs. I honestly felt that they were going to score every time they had the ball in our half, & had they been more ruthless with their finishing it could have been even more humiliating. Hate to say it but 3-0 flattered us.
Poch has a lot of work to do & Levy needs to get the cheque book out. I don't think Trippier has the engine to do what Walker did for us. Danilo ate him alive repeatedly. I trust that we will get it right, but last night was a definite wake up call.

The 2-2 away last season didn't look that different to last night. God knows how we got out of that with a point.
The way we play is the perfect style for City and Liverpool to exploit.
Against those teams we should probably sit deeper and try and hit them, instead of trying to play through them and leave big spaces for them to run in to. Go full Mourinho against them, especially away.

Well just got done watching that shit show.....boy oh boy....let's hope the entire squad was at the lasagna or something cause otherwise I dread to think what's gonna happen to us in that Chelsea game in a couple of weeks. We looked like we weren't in the same league as City. As much I love the idea of improving and getting the most of our existing squad, promoting youth, etc, we definitely need to go and buy some fucking quality players asap.
If you can't see the gulf in class you have shit in your eyes

ever disagree with me again and I'll spin your jaw you silly cunt(Am I doing this right?)
You can be concerned all you want; however, the reaction seems a little strange for friendly game. When did people start giving a shit?
They really only give a shit when we aren't playing our best. Go back and look at some of the match threads. The ones where we are completely dominating have hardly half the posts of when we are losing or drawing
